For total internal reflection to occur, light must travel
from an optically dense to a less dense
medium,
From the snell law, sinθ1 .n1 = n2. Sinθ2
The refractive of water is 1.333 =n2, the refractive index of
glass, n2= 1.474( pyrex)
Θ1=? And θ2=90
Θ1 = sin-1 [(n2./ n1)
* sin90 ,
Θ1 = sin-1 [(1.333/1.474) * sin90 =65°
